Under the leadership of sh-wei, Li Jiawang left the palace and came to the royal estate located on the outskirts of the imperial capital, which is now the Baron Mansion.
This manor has its own legend and history. It was originally the manor where the Zhongxing Lord of the Holy Dragon Empire lived for a period of time. It has a history of more than a thousand years. It is said that the powerful officials of the Holy Dragon Empire at that time
In power, corruption and corruption among local nobles was rampant. The eldest prince at that time, now known as Emperor Shengwu, was framed and exiled here to reflect.
Later, Emperor Shengwu used this manor to recruit experts from all walks of life, and finally eradicated the corrupt officials in the court one by one, forced his father to abdicate, ascended the throne himself, and then carried out reforms in the Shenglong Empire, eradicating serious local corruption.
The nobles brought a new look to the empire's environment, and were called the Lord of ZTE by the people of the empire.
After Emperor Shengwu ascended the throne, the manor was abandoned. The emperor who succeeded him after his death saw that the manor was located in the suburbs and had a large area, so he began to use it as a temporary residence for hunting. Later emperors
No longer willing to go hunting, the manor here became idle.
After Cage came to the throne, he resumed the custom of hunting, so the manor was repaired and used again. Now that Cage no longer loves hunting as much as he did when he was young, the manor was idle again, and it happened to be given to Li Jiawang by Cage.
Make it a baronial residence.
Not long after leaving the imperial capital, you could see this majestic manor covering a large area in the suburbs from a distance. The walls of this manor were quarried by a large number of slaves, who collected them from the bluestone mountain to the west of the imperial capital.
It is made of hard and smooth bluestones that have been polished many times by craftsmen. These polished bluestones alone are worth a lot of money. From this point, we can also see how extraordinary this manor is.
There are two large sculptures of the ninth-level magic beast Flying God Tiger carved by the Imperial City sculptor at the m-n port. The tiger spreads two huge wings, stretches out its sharp front claws, and at the same time opens its terrifying
From the tiger's mouth, a row of sharp teeth emerged, as if they were about to rise into the sky to fight the enemy.
The clear word "王" on its forehead exudes infinite power and frightening luster. If an unknown person suddenly sees this statue, they will definitely think that it is a real flying divine tiger and scream.
Of course, if you sell these two statues, you can at least get hundreds of thousands of purple gold coins for Li Jiawang. But if Li Jiawang really sells them, Ben Cage will be demoted to a commoner or reprimanded the next day.
, after all, it was a relic of the former Shengwu Emperor.
There are also two rows of sh-guards standing at the m-n entrance wearing black armor and holding standard long swords specially used by the palace guards. They stand there like sculptures guarding the manor. You can tell at a glance that they have extremely strong discipline.
x-ng, they are elite soldiers, but it is a pity that they are not my subordinates and will leave in a while, Li Jiawang thought with emotion.
Walking into the m-n entrance of the manor, I saw many slaves and maids, who were busy cleaning the manor. The plaque on the m-n entrance of the manor had long been replaced by the brand of the Baron's Palace. It can be seen that the notice had been received and preparations had been made.
Preparations to welcome Li Jiawang.
When a middle-aged man who looked like a butler saw the prosperous Li family, he immediately came up to him and said, "Dear Lord Baron, I am Salins, the butler of this manor, which is now the Baron's Mansion. What are your orders?"
The sh-guard who was leading the way saw the housekeeper coming and said to Li Jiawang, "Dear Baron, I have brought you to the Baron's Mansion. I have to go back to recover, so I left." After saying that, he didn't care about Li Jiawang.
In response, he turned around and left.
When Li Jiawang saw the sh-guard leaving, he said to the middle-aged man Salins, who claimed to be the butler, "Now tell me about the Baron Mansion."
Salins looked at the young Li Jiawang and thought to himself that he is really a lucky boy. He became a noble at such a young age and received His Majesty's favor. He will definitely have a bright future in the future! Then he said respectfully, "Yes, Lord Baron."
The Baron's Mansion is located in the suburbs of the imperial capital, covering an area of more than 1,000 acres. It is the largest and most luxurious building in the suburbs. It has a main courtyard and 13 small courtyards. Each courtyard is a relatively independent space and is connected to the main courtyard by a path.
The main courtyard is where the Baron lives. There is a large square that can accommodate 10,000 people. It was used by His Majesty for hunting parades. Now the Baron can use it to lecture the servants in the palace. There are also other buildings in the main courtyard.
A large flower garden, in which there are many kinds of rare flowers and plants planted by His Majesty, for His Majesty to enjoy when he and his concubine play together after returning from hunting.
The small courtyard is where the Baron's guests stay. The environment is elegant and the air is fresh, making it more suitable for guests to live.
The Baron's Mansion has more than 1,000 rooms, including 200 in the main courtyard and 100 to 50 in each small courtyard. The other rooms are located at the east and west corners of the main courtyard, where male servants and female slaves live.
place.
There are now 500 male servants, 500 female slaves, and 100 guards in the mansion. However, the one hundred guards are the Imperial Guards. After you recruit new guards, they will go back to resume their duties. As for those male servants and female slaves,
Your Majesty has given them to you together with the manor. Their deeds of sale will be delivered to you in a while. At that time, they will become your personal property and you can do whatever you want with them. In addition, there are two small houses near the Baron's Mansion.
The manor was also given to the Baron by His Majesty."
After a brief introduction by the butler, Li Jiawang thought for a while and said, "Butler, do you want to go back and resume your life, or stay here and continue to be a butler?"
After hearing this, Salins was stunned, but he quickly realized it and said, "Sir, I am a free man and do not need to go back to recover. If you are willing to take me in, I am willing to work for you and do my best.
"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Jiawang expectantly. He has stayed in the manor for nearly 50 years and is full of affection for this place. He really doesn't want to leave here. If he leaves here, he won't even know where to go.
What to do.
In addition, he saw that Li Jiawang had become a noble at such a young age and had received His Majesty's favor. He would definitely have a bright future in the future. If he joined Li Jiawang when he was short of manpower, he would definitely be reused by him, and he would surely enjoy glory and wealth in the future.
Li Jiawang rolled his eyes and thought: He has no one to use now, so he might as well use it first, and then when a suitable person comes along, he can be moved to another position, so he said, "Then you can still be your housekeeper."
, from now on all the affairs in the house will be handed over to you, don’t let me down."
When Salins heard that Li Jiawang was willing to take him in and let him be the housekeeper of the mansion, he immediately said happily, "Thank you for the gift, sir. I will definitely live up to your expectations. I will definitely handle the chores in the mansion and won't let you do anything."
Heart."
Li Jiawang saw the housekeeper's happy look, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Take me to the main courtyard to see where I live."
A quarter of an hour later, Li Jiawang, led by the housekeeper, came to a large and magnificent courtyard. Seeing this courtyard, Li Jiawang nodded with satisfaction and thought: It is indeed the place where the king lives. It is indeed extremely luxurious. It really makes me feel better.
, it’s a pity that I won’t be able to stay here for long, and I will leave the imperial capital to take up a post in the territory.
"Go and call all the male and female slaves in the house to the square here, and build a temporary high platform in the square. I will lecture them here in an hour. You go down and make arrangements. I will be in the main courtyard myself.
Let's take a stroll and take a look at my bedroom and living room. Let me know when you have arranged it."
